Card Inspiration: Inspired By A Gift Bag
June 29, 2025
I was doing some decluttering of drawers last month and found this cute paper gift bag I'd saved ages ago.
Decided to use it as inspiration for a card and I love how it turned out.
I've used Gallery Blooms dies for the florals/leaves and Wanted To Say dies for the Celebrate. Secret Sea made an elegant base for the other brighter colours.
To make this card I raided my embossing folders for one that was leaf themed for the base. I chose one of my sets of dies that had lots of small leaf/floral elements and cut a pile from the colours inspired by the gift bag. (Handy way to use up some offcuts.) Tip: Pop some adhesive sheet on the back of your cardstock before die cutting the small pieces and then all you need to do once you're happy with the arranging is peel off the backing and stick them down.
Now that is why I never finish my decluttering - too easily distracted. :-) I do love how this card turned out though.
Happy creating!
Cheers, Sue
